“The Case of The Missing China Cup”

(Or Never Mess With Mommy’s Tea)

 

 

Upon a similar September morn

I placed my beloved herbal blend

Into my porcelain china cup

 

 

Turning on my silicon friend

I chanced to find an e-mail

From a southeastern associate

 

 

While my eyes graced

The beautiful words of intent

My hand reached

For my warm herbal blend

 

 

What a cosmic joke

The cup had walked away

Leaving my lips listless

 

 

Had it fallen to the carpet

Had the soluble solution

Evaporated like my withering thoughts

 

 

My eyes/ears followed clues

Much like a postmodern Sherlock

 

Fixing my eyes behind

My beautiful yet sheik

Persian wool sectional couch

 

 

I heard the sinister slurping

Of a tiny set of angelic lips

 

Whose wings and halo

Were miraculously absent

(from sight)

 

 

My cute little princess

Had absconded with my cup

And was now gulping (with glee)

The last of my herbal blend

 

 

But to her eternal misfortune

The cup which she pilfered

Was simply used to restore

Nature’s regular balance (hint)

 

 

So ends the maligned mystery

Of the stolen china cup

 

 

But the final line

Which my daughter said

 

Left me with months

Of much needed laughter:

 

 

“Ooh mommy, my tummy hurts!”

Too cute.. Had me hooked from the beginning and laughing at the end.. Busy hands find things that are No-No's. Reminds me of my grandaughter, Julissa. Lively and fun!!
